so i needed some hydras for a game coming up and had no time, and mainly no money to order any so i scavanged through my older imperial models and found a old mk1 manticore and a old mk1 hydra (which i hate the model of hence i didnt want to use it) so with a razor knife and some super glue this was the end result.
Im fairly happy with it as is but as always feed back is always welcomed :)

Regards

Tim NZ

that's really cool. I'm seriously impressed. And slightly surprised - I didn't think it would work when I read the description, but scrolling through the pics I was seriously impressed - great vision!

Quite good looking! I am a bit partial to the old school Manticores so I don't see myself copying this kitbash!

Nice, And Agreed that MK1 Hydra was dumb looking, this is a much better look.

Kudos on the conversion, and according to ceimeifukan a reason for them to Actually Sell on Ebay ;D
